120 points or more for the Big Fig. Here are the incentives from last years cruise:

Here are the incentives:

BLT points good until 2060, AKL points good until 2057. Base incentives for booking - $5 per point off of Bay Lake Towers (which is selling for $112 per point before this reduction) or $8 per point off of Animal Kingdom Lodge (which is selling for $104 per point before the production. This is good for adding on anything over 120 points.

For 120 point in addition to the above you get a special Mickey Big Fig Statue and a 4 night stay in the new Treehouse Villas before booking opens to the general public.

For 200 point add on you get a 5 night stay Savannah view at AKL in a 2 bedroom, fast passes good for your whole family for the length of stay and $250 visa gift card or $250 shipboard credit on this cruise.

For 270 point add on you get either a 7 night stay in a Magic Kingdom 2 bedroom at BLT (with fast passes), or if you don’t want to wait until BLT opens a 4 night stay in the Contemporary Tower, or a Cat 6 stateroom for 2 on next years Member Cruise to be held 9/13/09. This comes with a $300 visa card or shipboard credit.

For 360 points you get the special ABD Backstage Member Exclusive Tour on May 12,2009 for 2, or any one of 10 other ABD trips. This comes with a $400 visa card or shipboard credit.

For 500 points there is a 7 night stay at the Grand Wailea in Maui in an ocean view room, or the exclusive Member ABD trip to Italy on 7/20/09 or any ABD for 2. This comes with a $750 visa credit or shipboard credit.

Mary, thanks for answering the question. I would have to search through my stuff to find it. Someone asked about a picture. I'll take one, but will have to wait until Jamie returns from drill camp since she has the camera.

Finished my fish extender gifts last night. Just have one more thing to add (the goody inside), but will have to wait to buy that till the week before the cruise!

One more thing to check off my list!

Yesterday I had asked a question about if I need to get passports for my family on this cruise. I recieved one response of an I think so. Does anyone know for sure if passports are required for this cruise? I think I may be in a time crunch if so.

On the discussion part (towards the top of the page) of the DCL is a post called:

*** Dis DCL FAQ - New alphabetical listing of DCL information***

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2068966

Since it is alphabetical if you page down to the “P” you will see it.

Take care

Thanks Mary! Yep, that's exactly what I got. I also got a card with it documenting the limited edition of 250 pieces, designed by Don Ducky Williams. I think mine said 139 of 250.

Rise and Shine, everyone!

Looks like it might be a nice day here, but we are expecting thundershowers later - we'll see.

Looks like alot of us are parasailing!! I know I can't wait.

I'm usually up most of the night but I'll have to get used coming to the DIS again.

It's a crystal ball with the DVC logo inside (well not sure if it is real crystal but you get the idea).



PDFG and all our friends who need it!

I don't have a vacation all summer....so I am dying for the cruise!! I love to look at the photos from previous Disney cruises. I don't know if I will ever be able to do all of the things I wanted to do with my new knees. They just don't always go the way I want them to or as fast as I want them to. And forget about ever kneeling...no way. Maybe after a year or year and a half it will be better. The surgeon told me it take that long to be really healed, and it's been 6 months. I go see him in July and I know I need to have my left one manipulated under anesthesia due to scar tissue. HOpefully it won't be too bad.

It will be fun to meet all of you...the more I read and the more I post, it is like I already know you!!

I was able to change my Dec DVC ressie from 11/29 to 12/5 in a two bedroom to 12/12 to 12/18 in a two bedroom. The airfare was wicked expensive for the Thanksgiving weekend. And since I am paying for 5 of us, I decided to change. I hope the crowds aren't too too bad. I know that I will never go again when Pop Warner is there!!!!

this is me...doing both at the same time, and also reading a few pages of my book! Who says there is no such thing as multitasking?

Not from a Member Cruise but one of my favorite pictures of Mark on Castaway Cay!

We were there last December during pop warner,,,it was not bad at all

 

[Donald is #1]

Wow! I haven't been on for 2 days and I am 9 pages behind!

I just filled out the final form on the DCL web site for the cruise. That was the credit card auth. We are all done.

Butin reading it says that there is a form we both have to sign and birng with, I did not see it or get one to print and sign? Does any one know what it is or were I might have gone wrong. I do this for all the cruises but this time I did not see now form.

thanks
flo

Um, does this mean that I should be filling out something on the cruise website?




Happy 50th Birthday Ravonne



Happy Anniversary Annmarie & Tom!
